Can't boot into Windows after enabling RAID?

After enabling RAID in the BIOS I can't boot into Windows.

I've got the hard drive I want to boot to as the first boot hard drive in BIOS. Before doing this I made an image of the Windows disk just in case. I've even used the image to recover that drive but didn't work.

I read someone said that removed the CMOS battery but that would kill all my sittings.

I'm using an Aurora R4 and running Windows 10 pro.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

So I assume you have 2 Hard Drives installed and you want to use them in a RAID configuration, is this correct? If you enabled RAID in the BIOS by mistake, switch it back to AHCI to confirm if the system boots properly after that.

Yeah, never do that.

You might have remapped the drives or Windows poorly installed a RAID driver.

Bare-Metal-Restore your Backup Image. If that doesn't work, you might not have created it properly ... was "Verify after Creation" enabled?
